Take This Test To Discover If Most Americans Would Think of You To Be A ‘Religious Extremist’

Are you a religious extremist? For decades, world leaders have been constantly stating that we need to eradicate “extremism”, but what really is “extremism”? Quite a few would point to the ISIS jihadists over in the Middle East that are beheading folks that don’t concur with them as examples of religious extremists, and I believe that very few folks would argue with that. But our politicians (specifically the liberal ones) seldom use the term “Islamic terrorists” anymore. Rather, they tend to utilize the term “religious extremists”, and that has a much, much bigger meaning. Actually, if you are a Bible-believing Christian, you are most likely incorporated in that category.

Most Bible-believing Christians would never assume of themselves as being similar to radical jihadists in the Middle East, but that is exactly how many of their fellow Americans see them. The Barna Group has just released a stunning new study which discovered that 45 percent of all “non-religious” Americans feel that “Christianity is extremist”…

The perception that the Christian faith is extreme is now firmly entrenched among the nation’s non-Christians. A full forty-five percent of atheists, agnostics, and religiously unaffiliated in America agree with the statement “Christianity is extremist.” Almost as troubling is the fact that only 14 percent of atheists and agnostics strongly disagree that Christianity is extremist. The remaining four in ten (41%) disagree only somewhat. So even non-Christians who are reluctant to fully label Christianity as extremist, still harbor some hesitations and negative perceptions toward the religion.

Even more scary is what the study found about how the general population views certain religious activities. There has been a incredible shift in society, and behaviors that were regarded to be completely mainstream a few decades ago are now regarded as “extremism”.

Are you ready to take a test? Glance over the Barna infographic that I have shared below meticulously. Have you ever took part in any of these “extremist activities”?…

If you have ever took part in any of the actions listed in category 1 or category 2, you are a “religious extremist” in accordance with most Americans.

Obviously every single one of the behaviors in category 2 would probably apply to me, so I guess that would make me an “extremist” based on this definition.

This is where our society is heading. Certainly “Christian extremists” are not normally put into prison in the United States quite yet, but hatred toward our faith in swiftly rising in society. Church presence is dropping like a rock, the Christian faith is brutally mocked in movies and on television, and occurrences of hostility toward Christians have doubled over the past 3 years.

And the reality is that even the federal government and the military are quickly turning against Bible-believing Christians. For instance, the slide that I have posted below comes from a U.S. Army Reserve Equal Opportunity training brief that referred to “Evangelical Christianity” and “Catholicism” as examples of “religious extremism”…

Once this shown up, there was a massive uproar and some folks got into problems over this. But it should be extremely alarming to folks of faith that U.S. military personnel were being trained that evangelical Christians are on the same level as the Ku Klux Klan.

And obviously this is far from the only instance of this phenomenon. The truth is, Christians have frequently been described as “extremists” and “potential terrorists” in official U.S. government documents since the moment that Barack Obama first stepped into the White House.

The subsequent is an expanded analysis from a earlier post entitled “72 Types Of Americans That Are Considered ‘Potential Terrorists’ In Official Government Documents“…

There is a systematic effort by the radical leftists that control our society to demonize Bible-believing Christians. They want to depict us as “religious extremists” that are just as harmful as ISIS is.

Given enough time, they would not just come after us with words. Throughout history, we have seen the same thing occur with so many other groups. First they were marginalized, then they were demonized, then they were criminalized, and then eventually they were marked for removal.

If you are a Bible-believing Christian, you need to get ready for extreme persecution, because it is most certainly heading our way.
